A faint light flashed in Huang's eyes, "Your Majesty, you are absolutely right. Although Wei Jingxuan has treacherous thoughts, she is still an ordinary person. As long as we keep an eye on her, sooner or later we will be able to find her flaws and eliminate this
Disaster."
Yongzhang heard their conversation from the side and asked doubtfully: "Did your concubine do something wrong? Why do all the concubines hate her so much?"
Xia Qing shook her head and said: "She has done so many wrong things that it is almost too numerous to mention. Just mentioning a few of them is enough to make people run cold, for example..."
"Hui Fei." Xianyue interrupted Xia Qing and said, "The third elder brother is still young. You can tell him these things without fear of scaring him."
Xia Qing also realized that she had talked a little too much and said with a smile: "What the empress said is that I am talking too much."
Yongzhang wanted to know how they said "bad things" about Wei Jingxuan behind his back. How could he let it go? He immediately said, "I'm not afraid. I really want to hear it. Concubine Hui, please just talk to me."
Xianyue said warmly: "Don't ask anymore, you will know when it's your turn to know." Seeing her words, Yongzhang could only nod helplessly.
After saying this for a few more words, Huang said: "I have recently learned to make a new snack called pine nut and lily cake. It is made with egg yolk, pine nuts, plums and pork. It is crispy and delicious. Would you be interested in trying it?
?”
Xianyue smiled and said: "The snacks made by the imperial concubine are far better than those in the imperial kitchen. I am naturally interested, but judging from the imperial concubine's appearance, it seems that she did not bring them."
Huang said: "It is best to eat this snack when it has just come out of the pot. The weather is cold now. When I prepare it and bring it to you, it will not have the same taste."
Mrs. Hu picked an orange and peeled it for Qiu Ju, and said: "From what I heard from my sister, it seems that she wants to show off her skills here."
"Those ingredients are all available in the small kitchen. I wonder if the empress can rest assured?" While saying this, Huang's eyes kept looking at Xianyue, and there was a faint flow of light.
Xianyue naturally understood what she meant, and immediately said: "What are you talking about? You have known me for many years, how can I not believe you?" After saying that, she looked sideways and said: "Qi Kuan, you go there with the noble concubine Yi.
, tell the people in the kitchen to do everything according to Concubine Yi's instructions."
Mrs. Huang was grateful for her trust. After bowing, she went to the small kitchen. She had just walked a few steps when Yongzhang said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty mentioned pine nut and lily cakes to me. I also asked the imperial kitchen to
I made it and took it with me, but my mother ate it once and said it tasted bad and she didn’t want to eat it. Since my mother knows how to make it, can you teach me so that I can make it for my mother next time?”
Mr. Huang nodded and said: "Okay then, you go there with me. That snack is not difficult to make, but it's not easy to control the heat. You have to pay more attention to it."
After the two of them left, Xia Qing said with genuine emotion: "The third elder brother is really very filial. It's a pity that he was born by the Su family by mistake. That woman has no right to have such a sensible son."
Hu said helplessly: "Su has such a fate, what can we do to her?" After she finished speaking, Xianyue and Xia Qing remained silent.
In the small kitchen, the palace servants were busy preparing the ingredients for lunch. When they saw the two Huangs coming in, they quickly bowed and saluted.
After ordering the palace servants to get the ingredients for the pine nut and lily cakes, Qi Kuan said respectfully: "I wonder if your Majesty has any other instructions?"
Huang and Yan said: "No, please trouble Eunuch Qi to tell the imperial concubine that the pine nut and lily cake will be ready in about half an hour."
"Come on, I'll excuse you." After Qi Kuan exited the small kitchen, a light flashed in Huang's eyes, and then he looked at the small kitchen calmly. She noticed a palace servant standing in front of the fire, guarding
A medicine jar, and fan the fire from time to time.
Mr. Huang walked over and said, "What kind of medicine are you cooking?"
The palace man quickly knelt down and said, "What I'm going to say to you, the imperial concubine, is the mistress's anti-fetal medicine. Take it in the morning and in the evening."
Huang nodded and said: "The imperial concubine is pregnant with a dragon fetus. This anti-fetal medicine is the most important thing. You must watch it carefully and don't be careless."
After the palace official agreed, Huang winked at Yongzhang and came to a corner. Then, while no one was paying attention to them, Huang quickly said something in Yongzhang's ear.
Yong Zhang looked at Huang in surprise and whispered: "Why?"
"I will explain to you later. Now do as I say. Don't be afraid of pain. Hurry up!" Under Huang's urging, Yongzhang walked over as told. When passing by a platform, he deliberately knocked it down.
He picked up the knife on the table and scratched the blade with the back of his hand. A bloodstain immediately appeared.
"Ah!" Hearing Yongzhang's cry of pain, everyone turned around. When they saw the injury on Yongzhang's hand, they immediately panicked and gathered around him, including the palace guard who was originally guarding the medicine jar.
people.
Huang was waiting for this opportunity. She quietly walked around from the other side, opened the medicine jar with her back to everyone, then took out the thin porcelain bottle hidden in her sleeve, and then quietly walked back to Yong Zhang. All this
It was all completed in a very short period of time. Only Yongzhang saw it, and everyone else was unaware and kept in the dark.
After Huang signaled the palace attendants to step back a little, she inspected the injury on the back of Yongzhang's hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not a serious injury. It seems that no muscles or bones have been injured. Go get gauze quickly. In addition, ask the imperial doctor to come over immediately."
, continue to do your own things for the rest.”
Those palace people responded, but did not step away, and there was a lingering look of worry on their faces. Yongzhang is the elder brother in the palace. Even if he is not very favored, he is still the elder brother. Now he is here
If they are injured, they will not be able to escape the blame if they are held accountable.
Yongzhang saw what they were thinking and reluctantly said, "I didn't pay attention to this matter. It has nothing to do with you, and I won't blame you."
Hearing this, all the people in the palace felt at ease. They kowtowed to Yongzhang and left. After a while, someone from the palace brought gauze. Huang took Yongzhang and sat down in a chair while wrapping his wounds.
While whispering: "Do you understand now?"
Yong Zhang bit his lip and said, "Your Majesty asked me to do this so that I could have the opportunity to put the things that Xiao Mencius gave you before into the imperial concubine's anti-fetal medicine, right?"
Huang raised the corners of his lips and said: "Yes, I know this will hurt you, but you believe me, this injury is definitely worth it."
Yongzhang hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but said: "What's in the porcelain vase that Xiao Mencius gave you?"
Huang stared at Yongzhang for a long time, and said word by word in a voice that only the other party could hear: "Something that can make the imperial concubine lose the fetus in her belly!"
Huang asked Mencius to boil the red flowers into a thick soup and put it in a porcelain vase. She secretly hid it in her sleeve and took it to the Yanxi Palace, where she took the opportunity to put it in Xianyue's anti-fetal medicine.
